When I talk about Jiro I mean the character, not you, although I appreciate there's an inescapable intrinsic link. I assumed that when I talk about Jiro or anyone else (eg "I love Raistlin") everybody who reads it would instantly know I am talking about the character and not the person, but clearly that was a reckless assumption. I fully acknowledge from what you've said that other people will likely think the same way, that I am saying trout about Jiro the person and not Jiro the character, and that is not good and completely my fault. I am sorry for that because you don't deserve that.

My comments were trying to explain my writing process and how I'd tried sincerely to make a virtuous character - and I thought I did a good job - but instead had failed and annoyed my audience so in rewrites I played that angle up more. I can fully understand why you would think that portrayal is me talking trout though. I have never had any issue with you - quite the opposite - and indeed that is why I gave you a prominent role and tried to make a good character who people would like. Instead, when faced with failure, I took the easy way out and went for annoyance instead. I took Fynn getting angry at the character (and losing the boss fight a bunch of times) as a sign of success. I didn't intend any negative portrayal of anyone in the game, be it you or anyone else, to be more than light hearted and gentle ribbing. Evidently I got that wrong too and I am sorry for that also. I will not include a representation of you in anything in future.

I told you we were going somewhere special for Christmas, didn't I? Look, we're heading in the right direction, I can feel it. You just have to have a little faith. The pub is a stone's throw away, I just know it!
